It has a separate add-on CA board that uses it's own PCI slot and is
connected to the DVB card via flat cable.

How can I do that? It seems the dst_type_flags parameter has been removed

I will test anything you throw at me, and let you know how it goes. I
stuck the card into a Windows machine to make sure all external factors
were in order, and I got a clear picture there. Now I'm eager to get
